Unambe nawa ngwo kanatwama helu lia “yizavu ni mavungu.” (Usolwelo 17:1, 5, 15) Niumwe pwo mahasa kuchilinga wakuhi, Babilonya Yinene muyihasa kulumbunuka chimwe chuma. Yika mba chikoi yono analumbunuka?

Amu ‘limbo liacho linene’ liakuyula “mianangana a hashi,” pwo anavuluka ngwo Babilonya Yinene yili umwe ululikiso unene wa hashi heswe. Ululikiso wacho muuhasa kulumbunuka chizavu chinene cha hashi heswe. Chizavu chika chenacho? Chizavu cha uwayilo wa mahuza.

Mbimbiliya yinambe ngwo mianangana ni akwa-kulanjisa, makamana “kusuku” ni kutala Babilonya Yinene. (Usolwelo 18:3, 9, 10, 15-17) Kashika, mutuhasa kwamba ngwo Babilonya Yinene hi unguvulu ko hanji chizavu cha akwa-kulanjisa, alioze yili uwayilo wa mahuza.
Uwayilo wa Babilonya Yinene, kanausolola nawa ngwo unapiangula mavungu ni ‘yitanga ya yipandapanda.’ (Usolwelo 18:23) Yipandapanda yili yitanga ya andemoniu, kashika hi kukomoka ko muze Mbimbiliya yinavuluka Babilonya Yinene ngwo “chiswamo cha andemoniu.” (Usolwelo 18:2; Shimbi Yamuchiali 18:10-12) Chizavu chino chinene kachisolola nawa ngwo chakulimika ni uwayilo wamwenemwene, ni kuhungumiona aprofeta ni “asandu.” (Usolwelo 18:24) Chochene, Babilonya Yinene yakwivwila kole uwayilo wamwenemwene ni kuhungumiona “yela ja Yesu” ni kwashiha. (Usolwelo 17:6) Kashika, pwo yono anavuluka ngwo Babilonya Yinene kanalumbunuka chizavu chinene cha uwayilo wa mahuza wa hashi heswe, uno uli uwayilo weswe uze wakulimika ni Yehova Zambi.
